Sci-Fi Scratching, Wah-Pedal Turntablism & Stadium Cut Routines

Co-founder of the Invisibl Skratch Piklz and 3-time consecutive DMC World Champion (1992–1994), Mix Master Mike became the official turntablist for the Beastie Boys in 1998 on 'Hello Nasty', performing 'Three MC's and One DJ' across stadiums worldwide and getting inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

“I treat the two turntables like an extraterrestrial transmission.”
